How to get out of an office xmas meeting

[Scam]

ffs do like I do .. I work with them why the **** would I want to eat with them/you ...
it's a job not a social gathering ..

Yet most people spend nearly as many waking hours with their colleagues as as they do with their partners/family. I've never understood this attitude, you just make it harder for yourself and those you work with

I'm not saying you have to be a social butterfly and out drinking twice a week with your team, but you'd be surprised what a single team lunch or couple of beers after work can do to help the wheels turn more easily.

Tell them santa touched you inappropriately when you were a child.

Also it is no longer Christmas or Xmas, it is 'holiday'.

A few high pitched reeee’s will get you uninvited from the ones in years to follow, as your life spirals out of control.

I'm surprised you got an invite.

Wear an orange jacket done up with a single, very strained, button.

Surely no one would actually wear an orange jacket
